Hey fellaz i have a set of marzocchi bomber 888vf forks and i was wondering how much heavy forksprings are and weather it makes that much of a differance, or weather i would be better buying medium springs, as i am running the stock ones at the moment and they are bottoming out prety hard on some drops.

There are 2 things you can try. Buy some heavier springs which i have available in stock now to any bike shop or check the oil height in the fork. By increasing the oil height by 10cc's you will avoid bottoming out the fork.
It depends on the feel you want to get from the fork. If you like a supple fork through the first few inches of travel then stick with the factory springs and increase the oil height.
If you want a firmer feel throughout the whole travel then fit the heavier springs and keep the factory oil volume.
Talk to your LBS. The code for the heavier springs is MZ/5141305/C. I cant give you the price as we are the importers/ distributors and deal directly with our dealers not the public.
I hope this helps.

The factory springs are the medium springs.
